I was feeling particularly nostalgic over the Original Star Wars EU (and considering rereading the ‘Fate of the Jedi’ books again this summer), and realized that I never drew Mara and Ben together.  That had to be remedied, so here’s mother and son getting ready to fight some baddies!  I still wish that these two were still canon…they were such well-written characters and brought a whole lot to the table in the Star Wars universe…

“You’d support my having a more dramatic backstory?” he asked, rolling his eyes. “And how does that happen? One of you develops a crippling spice addiction or something? I think it’s probably too late for that, Mom.” He ate half his sandwich in one bite. “But, I think I’ve got the overacting down. The next time we see Face Loran, I will ask him about it.” “Stars… Why is everyone always calling me out about the gelmeat? I cannot help that it’s delicious. Plus, you know, all of the health benefits,” he snorted. “And I think you should ask Dad about that later. Why he didn’t just consider not getting his hand cut off. Should be a great conversation.” Although, to be fair, if anyone could get away with it, it was Mara.

“I never said I recommended it, but I’d support it.” Her shoulders rolled in a light shrug. “I’m sure you could figure out something if you wanted.” Just the last name in general would likely pick up attention. Actually, why was she giving this so much thought?

“Hm, I can think of the theme for your show. ‘Living with gel-meat addiction’ sounds about right, the Holovid watchers would go crazy.” Mara shot her son a light grin, taking another bite from her sandwich. 

“Oh I’m sure it would be a real eye-opener to talk about.” A snicker escaped from her unbidden, melting into a dramatic sigh a few moments later. “I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes.”

‘Oh you-’ The words fell from Rey’s lips as Jaina’s daring brought them near-on back to back, the once hopeless struggle she’d faced to hold the Troopers off now not in the least bit so. She released all the hold on them she could without endangering their comrades’ escape and whirled in place; her blade ripping through one, two more; a Force push hurling another back and back and into the wall where he was held…pressed- then released as the spike of adrenaline that’d brought that push forth so strong waned and let Rey reason beyond her instincts.

You Solo

That thought came more suffused with affection than the moment would ever allow for if it’d been put to voice. In the space between heartbeats Rey caught Jaina’s eye. Time stilled. She smiled– and then the world around them again was a blur of motion and blaster-fire; blue and purple blades cutting a path out…out…through the hole in the high duracrete wall and –

Freedom.

Open space.

A ship dropping from the-

Rey’s stomach  felt like it fell down to her knees, a howled entreaty - spoken, not thought, since sense  had been shocked from  her - coming up louder than she’d ever screamed in her life –  ‘WE HAVE TO GO!! NOW JAI! NOW!’

Jaina was acutely aware of her friend’s back against her own, the whirls of purple and blue around the pair creating a steadily growing pile of stormtroopers on the ground. The only problem was that for every one that they took out two more seemed to fill the space. Blasters weren't made for fighting in close-quarters though, so Jaina counted their pair lucky they had a weapons advantage even if their numbers were far less. 

The brunette reached out with the force, and with her free hand outstretched sent one of their opponents hurling at another. A couple of swipes of violet swept through three more and for the briefest of moments as her and and her companion locked gazes she returned that smirk and was filled with an almost renewed sense of energy. 

It was short-lived, but still. 

Jaina promptly went rigid, eyes darting up toward the ship as a look of complete understanding and recognition dawned over her features. REY! The other girl’s message flooded Jaina’s mind and she nodded her head in agreement. Go where? She didn't know yet, but almost anywhere would be better than this spot. “I’LL COVER OUR BACKS! I THINK WE’VE OVERSTAYED OUR WELCOME.”

There was about to be more than one Solo on-planet.

Mara Jade (December 2015). Because she will always be canon to me!

A New Hope AU || The Emperor’s Hand

↳ Luke Skywalker lives a dull existence on a moisture farm on Tatooine, dreaming of something more. That something comes when he discovers a crashed starfighter, and amongst the wreckage, the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen. Her name is Mara, and unbeknownst to him, she is Emperor Palpatine’s personal assassin, who has traveled to Tatooine in search of a protocol droid and an astromech, the latter of which contains a distress message sent by the captured Princess Leia. Luke agrees to help Mara locate the droids believing that they may be with local Jawa traders, oblivious as to her true intentions. Soon Luke and Mara locate the droids, along with former Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who reveals to Luke that he is in fact the son of famed Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and that the force is strong in him. Mara decides to bring Luke to her Master, figuring that he’d reward her greatly for a gifted-yet-untrained force user whom he could control, but the most loyal of imperials soon finds herself sucked into the heart of the rebellion, as a burgeoning friendship with the farm boy causes her to question everything she thought she knew.

anunexpectedhope:

mission after the mission had been given to prepare I’m to serve his dark lord. vader’s twisted assassin, bred to be a focal primal being of the force, left his mark and was now being set upon a rival. everything was as a test, the fact she was a girl, seemed to be just another test. he hadn’t been an especially gleeful soul when it came to killing women.

Galen did not shy away from making eye contact and being close to her face again she was striking and fierce, combinations that make him excited. the darkside flowed through him and he spat back a primal dark growl that was on the point of becoming a scream before she moved. he remembered his master’s lessons to protect his limbs and adjusted his footing back, to swing down and block her blade, a nigh moment before being struck. 

Strike fast and true, leave no openings for vulnerability. What Mara knew of this man mattered not, not at this point at least, only that he had to go. Should she fail there’d assuredly be consequences, Palpatine wasn't known to take anything other than success happily. Though the same went for the redhead herself. She wasn't all that familiar with losing, and didn’t plan to start being now. 

As Mara’s gaze focused on his own her focused expression shifted for a brief moment and a malicious smirk curled at her lips instead. Good that this opponent wasn't so easily felled, the sense of accomplishment after their duel would be even greater. The redhead mumbled a series of hardly audible curses as her blade was once again intercepted, and with a grunt pushed forward into their interlocked sabers.

‘If you say so,” Jaina offered, but she was smiling. “I mean I guess I can choose to interpret the searing pain I will experience every time I shrug for the next two weeks as a sign that I’m growing as a fighter.” She dropped to sit against the wall, momentarily considering just going for it and laying down. Still, part of her felt that if she did that, she’d never actually get back up. “Where are my servants to carry me to a shower?” she asked, looking around. “I could have sworn that I advertised for those…”

“It’ll wear off before then if you’re lucky.” Mara assured, then with a note of pride in her voice, “Thinking on the bright side, I like it.”

Mara knew all too well how tempting it could be to to just lay down and pass out  after some of the more rigorous training rounds. She’d also quickly figured that usually that wasn't the best idea on the spot. 

Eh, trial and error. 

“I’m not carrying you, but I can do this.” The redhead held a hand out to help her niece up, head cocking to the side as she considered going for a nap now herself.
